MOUNT LAUREL — A man dressed as a Wawa employee was among three people who took part in the theft of hundreds of dollars of cigarettes from a Mount Laurel convenience store last week, police said.

While he went behind the counter and filled his arms with cartons of cigarettes, a second man stood as a lookout at the door while holding a cell phone to his ear, according to police. The two then hopped into a gold Nissan Maxima with brown doors, and were driven away from the Wawa on Route 38 by a third suspect.
